SURVIVING SHEPHERD’S PIE

The Australian rural woman is tough but feminine, strongly connected to the land with an independence and strength born of isolation and a wisdom and resilience born of adversity. She knows which way the wind is blowing and how to fix a broken water pump.

The Australian outback is a harsh and unforgiving landscape, prone to fire, flood and drought. Surviving Shepherd’s Pie bears testimony to four women who have survived and been shaped by this environment.
